Miami Dolphins roster cuts 2023: Tracking the moves down to 53-man roster

The Miami Dolphins are starting to drop their 90-man preseason roster down to the regular season 53-man roster limit. There will be some tough choices the Dolphins coaches and front office have to make over the next couple of days, and we will track all of the moves right here. You can check out any related articles and analysis through the links at the bottom of the page.

The NFL’s deadline for all 32 teams to reach the 53-man roster limit is Tuesday, August 29, at 4 p.m. ET. The initial rosters set by that deadline will be subject to change throughout the next few days as teams claim players off waivers or sign released players. There will also be movement for teams, including the Dolphins, as they make adjustments for injured players. Under NFL rules, a player cannot be placed on injured reserve and brought back to the active roster until the regular season begins. That means a veteran player like Miami cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who will not be released but will likely miss most of the season due to a knee injury, will have to be kept on the 53-man roster for a day before being shifted over to IR.

Below you will find the Dolphins' full 90-man roster, along with the moves as they make them:

Current Roster: 53
Needed Cuts: 0
